Harvard Business Review
Traditional food packaging and delivery systems face a number of sustainability challenges. Beverage packaging accounts for between up to 48% of urban solid waste, and up to 26% of marine garbage. This is in part due to the ineffective recycling and reuse schemes currently in place, which lead to higher prices for food providers and don't incentivize customers to return containers quickly or at all.

Solar Foods, a Finnish company, has developed a new protein called Solein that is made using hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The process, called air protein, uses a special fermentation process to convert the hydrogen and carbon dioxide into a protein-rich powder that can be used as a meat substitute. This innovative approach has the potential to revolutionize the food industry and address issues such as climate change and food security. The production of Solein requires significantly less water and land compared to traditional protein sources such as livestock. Additionally, the use of carbon dioxide as a raw material reduces the need for fossil fuels and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the process can be powered by renewable energy sources, making it an environmentally sustainable solution. To read more, use the button below to open the original external article.

The article from 3PLogistics discusses the challenges of last mile delivery for large and bulky items in the US. According to their research, a majority of last mile delivery providers are not equipped to handle these types of shipments, leading to increased costs and delays. In addition to this, they found that accessing certain areas can be difficult, as some locations do not have sufficient infrastructure and infrastructure investments are lagging behind demand. This is further exacerbated by the fact that most providers lack specialized vehicles or equipment designed specifically for last-mile deliveries of larger items. In summary, 3PLogistics offers insights into the difficulties associated with delivering large and bulky packages during the last mile in the US, highlighting issues such as inadequate infrastructure and a lack of specialized equipment. They suggest that investments should be made in both infrastructure and specialized transportation solutions in order to improve delivery efficiency and reduce costs for both businesses and customers alike.

The anticipation of food crises is a critical component of humanitarian aid efforts aimed at reducing human suffering. However, existing predictive models often rely on risk measures that are inadequate due to delays, outdated information, or incomplete data. A new study utilizing recent advances in deep learning and analyzing over 11.2 million news articles from 1980 to 2020 on food-insecure countries has identified high-frequency precursors to food crises that are both interpretable and validated by traditional risk indicators. This groundbreaking research provides a significant advancement in predicting food insecurity by leveraging the power of machine learning and big data analytics.

If you have lived in a home with a trampoline in the backyard, you may have observed the unreasonably tall grass growing under it. This is because many crops, including these grasses, actually grow better when protected from the sun, to an extent. And while the grass under your trampoline grows by itself, researchers in the field of solar photovoltaic technology — made up of solar cells that convert sunlight directly into electricity — have been working on shading large crop lands with solar panels — on purpose.

A new last-mile delivery robot will be taking to streets soon. It will also be taking to bike lanes, if its creators have their way. Refraction AI, creator of a low-cost, lightweight delivery robot named REV-built its bot to operate in both the bike lane and on the shoulder of roads. The company, which recently came out of stealth, is the brainchild of two University of Michigan professors, Matthew Johnson-Roberson and Ram Vasudevan, who say they've developed a safer, more cost-effective solution for last mile logistics than anything in the current delivery paradigm.
